Cinnamon Roll Casserole Delightful Breakfast Treat
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (preferably with icing)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or almond)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Open the cinnamon roll cans and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts and dried fruit over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up and golden brown.
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the icing by using the packet that came with the cinnamon rolls. If desired, enhance it with a touch of milk for a drizzle consistency.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the icing over the top.
- Cut into squares and serve warm.
